Are us women under so much pressure in todays world to look perfect!!?

Question

what is perfect to you ?? :)

Answer 1

You brought the pressure unto yourself, can you seriously say you offer a man what a woman of say the 40s 50s offered to him (if he was present that is and not off to be used for target practice).

So yeah if Iam gonna pay alimony/child support I want at least f a 10 in between.

Answer 2

No we put pressure on our selfs ts rediculos, the women on magazines and telly arnt forcin us to look like them are they?

Men arnt expectin us to look like them  ( well the ones worth knowin) are they in the word of my boyf " they take all that makeup and airbrushin y wud i want that when i have a natural beauty"

And half theese women the population aspires to be like dont luk that great unless there caked!!!

II dont understand y people cant just be happy with them selfs!!

Answer 3

I don't submit to pressure from the world. I could care less what the world thinks. I think walking around drunk and stupid all day is retarded but MTV seems to think it is the cool thing to do. I think spending $1000 on a pair of jeans is asinine when their are starving children in this world but the STYLE net work thinks it is necessary to look chic. I think Human rights should take president over animal rights but that's not what PETA thinks. I don't think you need to spend $5000 on one out fit, change your hair, teeth, nose, cheek bones, b***s and butt in order to look good.

What is perfect to me? Nothing. and that is the beauty of it all. I like imperfect, it is beautiful.

Answer 4

Possibly, though surely it does depend upon just how the individual perceives 'pressure' ~ or not!

Anyway, as far as I'm personally concerned, the pressure fails to do the work when I see 1: So many clones (fashion wise) and 2: So many girls walking about with their 'BELLIES' hanging out OVER the top edges of their 'low-rider' jeans, and or 'flab's of fat' that move about in a form of 'counter rhythm' to their movement. In other words, the 'rings of jelly move a second or so after they do, then stop ~ a second or two after they do'.

It might NOT be nice for the carriers of this fat / jelly-like stuff, and it isn't Ok or nice either, to see it.

As for what is 'perfect'! I've no idea, but I could imagine that to reach perfection would be a hideous place to be as you have only but one direction in which to move from on top of that pedestal. And it's likely to be a long way to fall.

Sash.

Answer 5

You are.  Just look in the mirror and you have your answer.  That's what's perfect in a woman.

Answer 6

who tells you what a woman is supposed to look like???..why should you care???. It's becoming the same way with men.

Answer 7

There cannot be too much pressure though can there ? Otherwise there would not be an ever increasing number of obese women

Answer 8

perfect to me is just be what you are and enjoy life,don't let it be taken up with this ever growing false and extremely looking artificial society

Answer 9

Yes.

Perfect to me is skinny and thin and fabulous looking..

and thats what im gonna be.

Answer 10

There is no pressure for such a thing as perfection but the media demand that something close is required in women.

This includes a dangerously thin torso and ridiculous diets.

Alot of young girls believe this way of things and fall into such traps at very early ages when they should be developing during important teenage years of growth.

'Perfection' is not found but I married someone close in many other ways.

Answer 11

Just remember that the people applying that pressure, the ones writing the articles and presenting the TV shows and promoting the beauty products are primarily women, who have a skewed perception of what men want and what the average woman is capable of. Just become conscious of it and then free youself. I will accept that their is a lot of male-orientated sexism in the perennial reporting of dishevelled women, but the market for that kind of thing is perhaps even more female than male dominated.

Answer 12

No such thing as perfect....

and I don't call being "fake" in appearance perfection.  

What's with all this garbage about Botox, hair weaves, cosmetic surgeries, boob jobs, tummy tucks so we can have the illusion of looking forever 21 years old (as if all real 21 y/os look good automatically when we all know darn well they don't)

No thanks... I'd rather be me, slightly "flawed" but authentic.

Folks need to throw off that pressure and adopt a WYSIWYG approach!

Answer 13

there is definitely pressure, everytime we watch tv, or look at a mag there is always someone in there that we aspire to look like however saying this it is also important to realise that differentiation is what makes us different and beautiful, therefore the  most important thing is to be comfortable in the skin you are in and use fashion, makeup etc to enhance this if wished and if cosmetic surgery is what it takes to make a woman feel that way then thats fine, perfection is loving yourself and feeling s**y.
